Booked in for my wife's birthday and it turned out to be a delightful spot to celebrate and have some chill out time. Gary was an awesome host who served delicious wine & hors d'oeuvres each evening, as well as making great restaurant recommendations and making the bookings for us. Breakfast was a treat to start the day and all in all, Lake Taupo Lodge exceeded our expectations.

Higher end home stay / bed and breakfast style accommodation.
Food was amazing!
Hosts were welcoming.
We left with a tub of delicious trout pate.
Views of the lake from our room.
A great place for high achievers and hard workers to stay.
Wanting to escape from "real life" for awhile we booked into the Lake Taupo Lodge for three nights. It was a beautiful location with an amazing garden - appreciated your hard work Shirley - and lovely views of the lake. It felt like a real sanctuary. Gary was an attentive host and Chris was on hand to provide delicious food when required. We very much enjoyed our stay.
I stayed here with the wife just after we went to level 2 lockdown, It is such a beautiful place to stay at. The lodge has great facilities, a spectacular view of the lake, amazing gardens and the food by Chef Chris was absolutely amazing. Hosts Gary and Sherlie were very welcoming. I must add that the bed was super comfortable which is a major plus for me (Nothing beats a great bed). Would recommend to all.
We stayed at Lake Taupo Lodge for a couple of nights in Aug 2020. It was a wonderful experience and can recommend to anyone who wants to have an amazing experience to book here. Gary is an amazing host and looked after us so well. He kindly booked and dropped us off to the local restaurants, which he recommended. Both were great. I would highly recommend staying here and hopefully we will get back here as well.
Thank you for a wonderful stay
Peter and Sue, thank you for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure to have met you both. I look forward to seeing you here again someday. Cheers, Gary
In the middle of winter in Taupo, a golf trip not for the faint hearted. Taupo Lodge was a delightful sanctuary, warm and welcoming in a stunning setting with amazing views and the mountain did lift her skirts to show off.
What was even more stunning was the hospitality afforded by Gary. A beautiful glass of wine as soon as we settled into our more than comfortable room. He even washed the ice off the car windows in the morning, and in the evening drove us to town when we went out for dinner.
Food was outstanding, wine beautiful and plentiful, Gary was interesting to talk to and interested in sharing the background of the Lodge and the area. Quite a character.
Couldn’t have enjoyed the stay more.
We were so pleased to have you and Rod stay with us Gae. I look forward to the day we can enjoy another glass of wine in good company. Thank you for you kind words. Cheers, Gary
